Ugly Tour Bus Non-Photoblogging

(Click for bigger.)

I saw a bus today, and I could tell exactly what part of it I wanted to photograph, but alas! I didn't have my camera with me! So I concentrated on it and thought, "I can draw that." So above is a drawing of a detail on a tour bus I saw today.

Is this getting too esoteric?

UPDATE: I saw the same bus again after doing the above illustration, and was happy to see I had gotten it exactly right.

The idea of photographing ugly tour buses started as a way to simply document their weird, ugly designs. Eventually, however, it morphed into a "making a silk purse out of a sow's ear" idea, to make beautiful photographs of ugly objects. So the intention now is to NOT make ugly photographs.
